Virtualizing SAP Applications with Confidence on FlexPod
While customers with SAP environments were not the first to adopt virtualization, surveys and studies have found that in 2012, virtualization is a priority within IT investments. In fact, 71% of surveyed companies plan to invest in SAP virtualization in Germany (Source: DSAG investment survey, 2012.) This rise in adoption shows that organizations have gained confidence in virtualizing business critical applications, such as SAP.
SAP users are often cautious about virtualization because they worry about the sensitive nature of the data and that this abstraction layer will add overhead and increase management complexity. They are looking for proven solutions to help them safely deploy virtualization for CRM, ERP, and other applications. The SAP applications built on FlexPod® solution from NetApp does just this. It is a unified, pretested, and validated data center solution built on a flexible and secure shared IT infrastructure using leading technology from NetApp, Cisco, and VMware.

When we were young our Mom would make a cookie called Hershey's Chocolate Walnut Balls. The recipe was taken from the Hershey Cocoa can, and these were our favorites holiday cookies! As I remember the only time she made these treats was on certain occasions, so that made them even more special. Sadly the recipe did not survive to be passed down. We sent a message to Hershey's to inquire if the recipe was in their archives, to which we have not had a response. Anyone with this recipe would we love to hear from you!
Over the years I have been part of cookie swaps which is a great way to experience new recipes. In my quest to offer something new I discovered several websites to widen your cookie baking horizons.
Happy baking!

The state's effort to move to a new statewide Medicaid reimbursement rate for its 10 regional mental health authorities is causing budget shortfalls for three Southeast Michigan counties.
While the overall state funding for the first quarter this year was cut only 1.4 percent to $528.8 million, Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties saw their funding cut by about 5 percent, or $48 million, for fiscal 2013-14 that began Oct. 1, the directors told Crain's.
Meetings between the county directors and the Michigan Department of Community Health have been held the past few weeks to resolve the funding shortfall.
The directors say unless funding is restored, they will be forced to dip into financial reserves and savings. Over time, the funding cuts could lead to staff layoffs, reduced provider reimbursement and fewer services to the 88,000 Medicaid beneficiaries they serve, the directors said.
"What is being proposed by (Community Health) is not improving the system," the county directors said in an Oct. 18 letter to Community Health Director James Haveman.
"We believe we can work together to improve the lives of the persons we serve. Therefore, we are simply asking (Community Health) to roll back these Medicaid rate changes, and give us adequate time to jointly discuss the issues noted in this letter and develop a plan for a smooth transition."
The letter was signed by Jeff Brown, executive director of Oakland County Community Mental Health Authority; Tom Watkins, CEO of Detroit Wayne Mental Health Authority; and John Kinch, executive director of Macomb County Community Mental Health Authority.
How it began
As part of a 2010 plan to phase in an average statewide Medicaid payment, Community Health began to slowly reduce funding to the mental health regions, said Lynda Zeller, Community Health's deputy director of behavioral health and developmental disabilities administration.
"There has been criticism for a long time that rates are not equitable (for all regions in Michigan) and do not allow equitable access" for all eligible beneficiaries, Zeller said. "This is a priority for legislators and for (the Snyder) administration."
Over the past four years, the Oakland County mental health authority's Medicaid budget has been cut by 20 percent while patients served has increased, said Ronald Hocking, the authority's director of network cost and utilization. About half the health authorities in Michigan have experienced similar cuts.
"The state committed to evaluating the impact to the system (by moving to a statewide average), but they have never done it," Hocking said.
To administer Medicaid mental health funds, Michigan and 19 other states created Prepaid Insurance Health Plans in 1998 to manage enrollees. There are now 10 PIHPs in Michigan, each managed by a county mental health authority.
The PIHPs receive per-member-per-month Medicaid payments from the state. The PIHPs, which pay provider organizations directly based on contractual rates, must provide coverage for recipients suffering from mental health issues, developmental disabilities, substance abuse or serious emotional disturbances.
Of the 227,020 people served by the PIHPs in 2010, 69 percent were covered by Medicaid, the Center for Healthcare Research & Transformation said last year in a report on the state's mental health system.
'No time to plan'
In late September, Brown said the Southeast Michigan mental health authorities were told by Community Health their budgets would be cut.
"We were told of the funding reduction three days before our fiscal year started," Brown said. "Our budgets were in place. We had no time to plan."
The Oakland County mental health authority's Medicaid budget was cut by 6.4 percent, or $14 million, for its 22,000 beneficiaries, Brown said. Wayne and Macomb received similar budget cuts.
Overall, Community Health's Zeller said five regional authorities received increases, and five had their budgets cut.
Brown said the three SE Michigan mental health authorities, which are among the largest in the state, still have not been told why the cuts were made days before their 2014 fiscal years began.
Zeller said Community Health tried to get rate letters out sooner to the health authorities, but the actuarial analysis took time to complete.
Zeller said the three county health authorities of Oakland, Wayne and Macomb have $108 million total in reserve accounts that can be used to offset state funding decreases this year.
"Oakland has an additional $27.6 million in general fund balance" that also can be used to offset rate reductions, Zeller said.
Willie Brooks, CFO of the Oakland County mental health authority, said the authorities use the reserves and savings to meet unexpected expenses and organizational transformation to meet changes under the Affordable Care Act.
"We can't use our reserves to maintain a budget," Brooks said.
Brooks said Oakland always has been paid a higher rate than other counties because it has a disproportionate number of patients with developmental disabilities.
But Zeller said Oakland's rate-setting included adjustments for historical costs that included caring for more costly developmentally disabled people.
Brown said he doesn't expect any changes in the funding formula until fiscal 2015. He said Community Health has created a workgroup of the 10 PIHPs to revisit the rate formulas.
Zeller said the workgroup will address concerns raised by some of the authorities.
So far, Brown said no employees have been laid off from its 85-employee workforce as the authority seeks to cut $500,000 from its administrative budget. He said the authority's goal is to reduce internal costs and reduce staff through attrition.
"We have told our core providers to look for efficiencies. … There could be some cuts after April 1. We have enough reserves (and savings) for 2014, but nothing for 2015," Brooks said.
The mental health providers include Common Ground; Easter Seals Michigan; and Macomb-Oakland Regional Center.

X21R.2 TorchR 8,000.00
In 1993, the bank refused to grant them a business loan and they had no real estate to offer as collateral, just fresh ideas and the prototype of the first LED LENSER V8 flashlight. For the gentlemen at the bank, who told them that the V8 was unsellable, that wasn't enough. So In 1994, with 1,000 DM, a sketch book, toolbox and old Atari® computer, twin brothers Rainer and Harald Opolka struck out on their own and founded LED LENSER in their garage in Germany.
With all the passion and courage of two young, newly-minted entrepreneurs, they managed without the bank and to their own surprise ended up selling more than 200 million Euros' worth of LED flashlights in the first five years. The V8 became an international design classic and one of the the top-selling LED flashlights in the world.
Harald OpolkaNow as they like to say, "We are our own bank." As if to remind anyone of this who might happen by, today a lone, tattered, pirate flag waves over their Solingen headquarters.
Fast forward 17 years, hundreds of patents and design awards later, and LED LENSER is now a company of more than 1000 employees, three manufacturing bases and a range of some of the world's highest-quality LED flashlights. And today, just as in the beginning, we remain driven by light – the emission, channeling and powering of light.
- LED LENSER lights are measured in lumens. LED LENSER uses ANSI/FL1 standards as published by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). To date, this is the only industry-wide, agreed-upon standard of measurement.

Harvest Farm-To-Table Event, being held at the beautiful Quail Lodge Resort-- located in Carmel Valley, California-- my hometown for most of my life.
I'm still quivering from excitement, that I need to calm down and (literally) digest all the fantastic food I have sampled.
The first thing I want to say about Tyler Florence... he's definitely a hottie, but most importantly-- he is a genuinely friendly and approachable chef. I have to thank my dear friend, Dorothy, who put me on the volunteer list as a "Chef Gopher".
Stefan Richter of Top Chef and LA Farm. He is also very gracious and very charismatic.
Do you see the photograph of Tyler, with his arm around me, posing for a photo? No? Um, hello, Dorothy...
YOU DIDN'T PRESS THE BUTTON!!! Imagine my weeping, as I realize she didn't take the shot... however, I said to Tyler that I am a participant in the food blog Tyler Florence Fridays, and he looked at me a smiled. Then he said "that's lots of fun, huh?" Tyler Florence spoke to me! My consolation prize, for missing out on a photo of me with Tyler (it really happened) is yet to come...
So, I forgive Dot for not taking the shot... you see, once all the chefs were checked in, she grabbed me and said that our job was to ask each Chef's Station if they needed anything. I got a white wrist band, that gave me unlimited access to everything!
There is so much more to tell you, but I'm going to tell you that my biggest highlight of all was watching Tyler Florence make a fabulous meal of fresh Alaskan salmon, seared and cooked to perfection. He also made a beautiful herb sauce, fresh baby heirloom tomatoes cooked almost a beautiful relish, a fresh corn succotash with bacon, onion and fresh veggies and perfect tempura style squash blossoms. I will show you how he made it...
Tomorrow is Day #2, and I have a pass for my husband to come with me. Craig knows how to take photos, so I'm determined to get another photo of me with Tyler Florence.
Having met Tyler Florence, and Stephan Richter, and eating Tyler's food...my life is complete... until tomorrow. Lots more photos to come! (Though, I did meet Alton Brown and I enjoyed a meal by "Iron Chef", Nate Appleman, in May of this year.
C'mon on a join us! There's still time to make it to beautiful Carmel Valley! It's so worth the trip here.
Yours truly,
"The Chef Gopher",

I'm going to say something that's going to get me into water hotter than those at the Harbin Hot Springs.
Swingers and polyamorists have a lot in common.
I can hear the howls already. How ridiculous! Polyamory is all about relationships, sharing lives together, creating more love. Swinging is all about 'recreational sex', instant gratification, lust without love.

How to Get an SSBCI Loan
"The traditional lending market looks at three areas," said Chris Garvey, New Center Stamping's CFO. "They look at your collateral in the project, they look at cash flow, and they look at current financial condition. They want to see how stable you are; they are pretty risk-averse these days.
"Most of them can overlook what they would consider an air ball in one of those areas. But if you've got an air ball in two or three, then no deal. It's too risky."
New Center had an air ball in the collateral department.
At $20 million a year in revenue, the Detroit-based company — which stamps out hoods, fenders, doors and roofs for the Detroit automakers — had strong cash flow. But the economy was still shaky in late 2012. And the plant, which employs 130, couldn't put up the collateral for the loan.
That made New Center Stamping the ideal candidate for the State Small Business Credit Initiative, a federal lending program created by the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act. New Center was a solid, jobs-generating company caught in one of the cracks of traditional lending.
"There are too many small businesses who don't have access to credit and capital right now, particularly in places like Detroit," said Don Graves, deputy assistant treasury secretary for small business, community development and housing policy — and President Barack Obama's man in Detroit. "We need to do everything we can in these places where it's not as easy to get access. We need to find ways to help the market better respond to the businesses."
Used ... refused
To meet the demand of its customers, New Center Stamping needed to invest in five new presses, each of which weighs between 800 and 900 pounds and costs upward of $5 million.
Garvey wasn't prepared to spend $25 million on new equipment. Instead, the team there decided that the more cost-efficient path was buying used equipment at a fraction of the cost. Instead of $5 million per machine, they could buy one for about $100,000 and then spend $400,000 installing it.
"The $100,000 is about the scrap metal value of that press," Garvey said. "If we didn't buy it, it would get torched. But while it's cost-effective for us to invest through the used-equipment market, the collateral is not there for the banks."
The banks, however, preferred to finance new presses even though the others were less expensive. Why? The new machines could be used as collateral for the loan. The used presses, by comparison, have no real street value and would be useless if New Center defaulted on the loan.
That's where the State Small Business Credit Initiative program, or SSBCI, can help. It provides funding to bridge collateral gaps so businesses can get loans.
Turning $1.5B into $15B
Through the Small Business Jobs Act, the federal government allocated $1.5 billion for states to invest in small businesses and small manufacturers such as New Center Stamping.
The money flows from the U.S. Treasury Department to the states for use in one of five ways: collateral support, loan guarantee, venture capital, loan participation and capital access programs to cover the losses on portfolios of new business loans.
The intent was that the public funds would leverage private financing so the entire program would spur $15 billion in lending nationwide.
Michigan was awarded $80 million and has distributed 84 percent, according to the first annual report on the program, released by Treasury at the end of December.
The Michigan Economic Development Corp., which manages the funds for the state, said these loans are expected to create more than 4,000 jobs and retain 2,100.
The roots of the SSBCI program can be found deep in Michigan.
"We kind of invented this," said Steve Hilfinger, COO and executive vice president of the MEDC. "It started as a state program and we took it to Washington. When Treasury made the first allocation of SSBCI funds, the announcement was here in Michigan."
In 2009, during the depths of the recession, the MEDC created two loan programs designed to help the auto suppliers.
"The auto supply chains were hemorrhaging at that time, and we were trying to find solutions to help the banking community continue to finance the auto industry," said Mike Flanagan, director of equity capital programs at the MEDC.
The state allocated $6 million as a trial. The results were so strong — job creation and no loan defaults — that the MEDC wanted to expand the program to meet demand from non-auto companies. So Flanagan and Hilfinger started talking with other states in the region and put together a lobbying package for the White House, calling for additional support for state economic development and small-business lending. At the same time, Treasury was thinking along the same lines and liked what it saw in Michigan.
"Manufacturing was taking a big hit at the time we were creating the program," said Treasury's Graves. "For businesses that relied heavily on the value of their equipment or value of their underlying real estate, it was very difficult — and still is — to get access to credit. So that's why we were so supportive of what Michigan wanted to do, with its initial focus on the auto suppliers."
Showing other states how
One criticism of the SSBCI program is that the states aren't using the money fast enough. Connecticut, for example, had drawn down only 1 percent of its funds at the end of the third quarter of 2013, while Ohio has expended only 16 percent. Nationally, however, Treasury has dispensed $911 million of the $1.5 billion allocated for the program.
"The rates at which participants have used funds continues to vary," according to a recent report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. "While initial challenges generally have been addressed, others remain."
That means some states have turned to Michigan to help them set up and carry out their programs.
After all, by November 2013, Michigan already had expended $73.8 million of its $80 million award and leveraged an additional $415 million in private lending, according to the MEDC.
"I think one advantage is that our programs were already operating and successful, so we were able to hit the ground running," Flanagan said. "We also have staffed those programs with former banking professionals. It takes time to set those programs up and roll them out so that the banks are familiar and comfortable with them."
Comerica's stamp of approval
Comerica Bank decided to take a risk on New Center Stamping, which is in Detroit's New Center area just north of Midtown. Through the SSBCI collateral program, the MEDC put up $3.7 million to leverage $3.8 million from Comerica. That gave Garvey and New Center President Ric Monkaba $7.5 million to upgrade their equipment and expand the building.
They closed the loan in March 2012 and are expecting to add 65 jobs. More important to Garvey, however, is the number of jobs that the loan helped save.
"It's our expectation based on the market that we are going to grow substantially," he said. "But I think from our perspective, it's more than just creating 65 jobs. It's really about saving the 130 jobs that are here today, because without this investment, it would have been a slow decline to wrapping up and shutting the doors."

LONDON (Reuters) - Actor Richard LeParmentier, best known as the commander in "Star Wars" who Darth Vader nearly choked to death for his "lack of faith" in the Force, has died aged 66, his family said.
LeParmentier appeared in more than 50 films and TV shows but is remembered for playing Death Star commander Admiral Motti in the 1977 film "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" in which Darth Vader chokes him using the invisible "Force".
LeParmentier also appeared in "Octopussy", "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", and as a reporter in "Superman II" which starred British actress Sarah Douglas, his wife from 1981-1984, as the Kryptonian supervillain Ursa.
His family paid tribute to "a warm, genuine person with an unparalleled joie de vivre".
"He absolutely loved traveling the world and meeting his friends and fellow Star Wars fans - whose tributes have given us all the best lines in this message," Rhiannon, Stephanie, and Tyrone LeParmentier said in a statement.
"Every time we find someone's lack of faith disturbing, we'll think of him .. He has gone to the Stars, and he will be missed."
His ex-wife, Douglas, said she was saddened to hear the news of his death.
"It was a long long time ago but nevertheless I am sad to hear the news and feel for his family," she wrote on Twitter.
The actor was born in Pittsburgh but moved to Britain in 1974 where he was most recently working as a screenwriter, according to his biography on IMDb.
He was visiting relatives in Austin, Texas, at the time of his death. No cause was given for his death.
The actor, who appeared at some sci-fi conventions, was reported as saying of his most famous role: "I did the choking effect by flexing muscles in my neck. It set off a chain of events, that choking.
"I can't do it anymore because, oddly enough, I have had an operation on my neck and had some 21st century titanium joints put into it."

£ 47.00
Dress Length:
S Size=60 cm
M Size=61 cm
L Size=62 cm
|0.61 kg
as shown
Bandage dresses are made with fabric that has a high elasticity, this means that the sizes run small to ensure that they are body contouring (which is where the name body con bandage dress is taken from). They are designed to fit snugly against the body so choosing the correct size for you may be difficult.
See here for our size chart. It is recommended that take your own measurements and compare them to the stretched dress measurements. Your measurements should be the fullest part of the bust, smallest part of the waist and the widest part of the hips. You should choose the smallest size that your measurements fall into as this will ensure a snug fit. You will also notice another set of measurements, this is the size of the dress when relaxed (ie, on the hanger) and is really for information only.
The bandage dress is designed to flatter your figure, so choosing a size that is too big will not cling to all the right places – it will not look good. By the same note, choosing a bandage body con dress that is too small will not be comfortable, you may struggle to move easily and you may even struggle to fasten it when alone.
You are opting for bandage dresses because you want to look great and show off your figure, so choose your size wisely.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minnesota (Reuters) - The U.S. central bank's $2.9 trillion portfolio of assets is what is keeping borrowing costs near record lows, not the monthly purchases that many credit with that power, a top Federal Reserve official said on Wednesday.
"We could stop buying and we would still be putting downward pressure on interest rates," Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank President Narayana Kocherlakota told an audience at a suburban Minneapolis golf course, after a speech in which he called for the Fed to keep rates low until U.S. unemployment reaches the more normal level of 5.5 percent.
"There is this view out there that somehow the flow of purchases is what's keeping the downward pressure on interest rates," he said, adding that rates will not start to rise until investors anticipate the Fed will sell off its assets.
The central bank would also conduct sales in a "responsible" manner that would not cause an undue spike in interest rates, he said.
Kocherlakota has been privately communicating to colleagues his conviction that the Fed needs to provide still more accommodation, he told reporters on Tuesday, but his first public airing of the view was at a different Minneapolis-area country club that day.
The speech immediately marked him as one of the Fed's most dovish policymakers.
The U.S. central bank just last month ramped up its attempts to stimulate the economy by announcing new bond purchases that will swell its balance sheet further. It also vowed to keep rates low until unemployment, now at 7.8 percent and high by historical standards, falls to 6.5 percent, so long as inflation stays muted.
In remarks Tuesday that he reiterated the following day, Kocherlakota called for the Fed to extend that newly minted low-rate pledge, arguing that using a 5.5 percent threshold would put the economy back on track more quickly.
He did not call for more asset purchases, saying he is comfortable with the current pace of bond buying. But he noted that too little is known about the costs of the program compared to the benefits.
The Fed has kept interest rates near zero since December 2008 and has bought some $2.5 trillion in assets since the Great Recession to lower borrowing costs further in an effort to get more Americans back to work.
It is now buying Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $85 billion a month, on track to adding about $1 trillion to its balance sheet over the year or more that many economists expect the bond-buying program to continue.

In dining rooms across the country--and especially throughout wine-loving Europe--oenophiles are quick to pour their kids a splash of vino with dinner. The thinking for years has been fairly straightforward: if you demystify alcohol for your kids at a young age, they are less likely to binge drink as a teen.
The logic seems sound, but recent studies have debunked that myth. Letting kids take a tipple now and then has no effect on whether they may binge-drink as adolescents and young adults. Worse: the earlier they are exposed to drinking, the earlier they could develop a dependency on alcohol.
The problem? Not everyone is getting the message.
A recent survey of 1,000 mothers in North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee found that 40 percent believed forbidding alcohol would only spike their kids' curiosity and desire. The study, which was led by Christine Jackson of RTI International at Research Triangle Park in North Carolina, called for education campaigns to let more parents know that responsible drinking at home doesn't necessarily curtail risky drinking when young people are out with their friends.
At least one in five of the parents of third-graders said they believed that children who sip alcohol will be better at resisting peer pressure to drink, and less likely to try risky drinking, the study's authors wrote in Monday's issue of the Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine."This finding indicates that many parents mistakenly expect that the way children drink at home, under parental supervision, will be replicated when children are with peers," they wrote.
"This expectation is refuted by recent studies that link adolescent brain development with adolescents' propensity to disregard home drinking norms when they are with peers."
Previous studies suggested that fifth graders whose parents allowed them to drink alcohol were twice as likely to report drinking in seventh grade, the researchers said.
Plus: The Latest Thinking on Drinking While Pregnant
A minority of the mothers in the study, between 15 per cent and nearly 40 per cent, strongly or somewhat agreed that early sipping can be beneficial. But, as the study's authors note, historically countries like France and Italy have had high rates of death from alcohol.
The Partnership for a Drug Free America recommends that parents start a conversation with their children about alcohol early on by showing them open-mindedness. Ask if any of their friends drink and how that makes them feel. Be clear with kids that you don't want them drinking by setting limits, and making rules and consequences clear. It's also important to be honest about your own drinking history.
What do you think about letting your kids drink? Do you let your little ones take baby sips? Or is alcohol banned from their lips? Let us know.

Top-seeded Oklahoma knocks off Washington to reach finals of WCWS
OKLAHOMA CITY -- For a year now, getting close to a national championship and then falling short has stuck with Keilani Ricketts and her Oklahoma teammates.
After a season spent seeking redemption, that ultimate goal is finally within reach.
Lauren Chamberlain and Keilani Ricketts homered, speedster Brianna Turang scored twice and the top-seeded Sooners beat Washington 6-2 on Sunday night to reach the finals of the Women's College World Series for the consecutive year.
"We've been waiting for this moment for a whole year now, and it feels so great to be back," Turang said.
Turang tripled to lead off the third inning and scored when Kaitlin Inglesby (23-9) threw her next pitch too high for catcher Shawna Wright to handle even after she stood up. Chamberlain hit her 29th home run two pitches later and Ricketts tacked on a drive into the bleachers in right-center field to make it 3-0.
Kylee Lahners broke up a no-hit bid by Ricketts (34-1) by hitting the national player of the year's first pitch of the fifth inning over the center-field fence. The 11th-seeded Huskies (45-17) got to 4-2 on Shelby Pendley's throwing error before Ricketts struck out Victoria Hayward and Hooch Fagaly to end the rally.
Georgia Casey chipped in two RBIs - a run scoring single and a bases-loaded walk - for the Sooners (55-4), who open the best-of-three finals series Monday night against No. 7-seed Tennessee.
"Words can't express how excited we are to be here, although our actions may not look like it. This is a very focused and determined team that had one goal, and that is to goal to get back and have a chance to win a national championship," coach Patty Gasso said. "It is difficult to do, and it has been difficult this entire year."
The Sooners have been the nation's top-ranked team since the first week of the regular season and have won five of their eight NCAA games because they were up by at least eight runs after five innings.
Washington put up a little more fight.
After Ricketts stomped out the fifth-inning rally, she gave up a single to Inglesby and walked Wright before getting Whitney Jones to ground out and end the sixth. Ricketts allowed just three hits while striking out 12. She walked two hitters and hit two more with pitches.
Destinee Martinez tacked on a run-scoring groundout in the seventh for the Sooners.
"They're a very well-rounded team. They have a great offense and they have pitching in the circle, too. It's very tough to pitch to them," Inglesby said. "I think they hit my mistakes really well and they put some great balls in play."
Oklahoma lost to Alabama in last year's championship series, winning Game 1 and leading the third game before a rain delay. The Crimson Tide rallied to deny the Sooners their second national championship and first since 2000.
"Right now, we're a team that's peaking," Gasso said. "We're playing very, very good softball all the way through the lineup. Everyone is contributing."

In accordance with the ACGME requirements, each training program is expected to form a Clinical Competency Committee (CCC) to formally review each resident on a semiannual basis. The program director appoints the CCC. The CCC must have at least three program core faculty (excluding the program director) who have the opportunity to observe and evaluate the residents. The CCC meets semiannually to review and discuss each individual residents' performance data and make a consensus decision on the progress of each resident by applying assessment data to the pediatric milestones. The CCC serves as an early warning system/early identification if a resident fails to progress in the educational program and make recommendations to the program director for resident progress including promotion, remediation, and dismissal. The program director or associate program director meets with each resident semi-annually to review the CCC report. To learn more about the CCC click here ->
Below are the faculty members who serve on the CCC committee (in addition to the Program Director and the Associate Program Directors) for the Pediatric Residency Program:

Robert Zemeckis is a blockbuster director at heart. Action has never been an issue for the man behind Back to the Future. When he puts aside the high concept adventures for emotional, human stories think Forrest Gump or Cast Away he still goes big. His latest, Flight, continues the trend, revolving the story of one man's fight with alcoholism around a terrifying plane crash. Zemeckis expertly crafts his roaring centerpiece, and while he finds an agile performer in Denzel Washington, the hour-and-a-half of Flight after the shocking moment can't sustain the power. The ''big'' works. The intimate drowns.
Washington stars as Whip Whitaker, a reckless airline pilot who balances his days flying jumbo jets with picking up women, snorting lines of cocaine, and drinking himself to sleep. Although drunk for the flight that will change his life forever, that's not the reason the plane goes down in fact, it may be the reason he thinks up his savvy landing solution in the first place. Writer John Gatins follows Whitaker into the aftermath madness: an investigation of what really happened during the flight, Whitaker's battle to cap his addictions, and budding relationships that, if nurtured, could save his life.
Zemeckis tops his own plane crash in Cast Away with the heart-pounding tailspin sequence (if you've ever been scared of flying before, Flight will push into phobia territory). In the few scenes after the literal destruction, Washington is able to convey an equal amount of power in the moments of mental destruction. Whitaker is obviously crushed by the events, the bottle silently calling for him in every down moment. Flight strives for that level of introspection throughout, eventually pairing Washington with equally distraught junkie Nicole (Kelly Reilly). Their relationship is barely fleshed out, with the script time and time again resorting to obvious, over-the-top depictions of substance abuse (a la Nic Cage's Leaving Las Vegas) and the bickering that follows. Washington's Whitaker hits is lowest point early, sitting there until the climax of the film.
Sharing screentime with the intimate tale is the surprisingly comical attempt by the pilot's airline union buddy (Bruce Greenwood) and the company lawyer (Don Cheadle) to get Whitaker into shape. Prepping him for inquisitions, looking into evidence from the wreckage, and calling upon Whitaker's dealer Harling (John Goodman) to jump start their ''hero'' when the time is right, the two men do everything they can to keep any blame being placed upon Whitaker by the National Transportation Safety Board investigators. The thread doesn't feel relevant to Whitaker's plight, and in turn, feels like unnecessary baggage that pads the runtime.
Everything in Fight shoots for the skies and on purpose. The music is constantly swelling, the photography glossy and unnatural, and rarely do we breach Washington's wild exterior for a sense of what Whitaker's really grappling with. For Zemeckis, Flight is still a spectacle film, with Washington's ability to emote as the magical special effect. Instead of using it sparingly, he once again goes big. Too big.

May Sell my CSP2+, ZSTAGE, 3 x DSR II IC's, tubes

Any interest out there is any of these. I love them all but have since upgraded and was thinking of using in another system but not using any of these awesome items as of now and was thinking someone maybe interested and would want them:
To go with Decware CSP2+ w/ Black Molded base is a bunch top flight premium tubes for a rolling delight (over $1,000 spent on these tubes but no worries they will be included for "Really - Really " reasonable money because I have no use for them and have no interest selling them one at a time), also the OEM tubes hardly used at all and these delightful: 2 - 7308 Amperex Gold pins, 3 - Amperex Holland Bugle Boy 6Dj8, 1 - Amperex PQ USA Gold Pin 6922, 1 - Amperex Holland Gold Pin 6922, 1 - Siemens Very nice sounding 6DJ8, 1- Amperex 6DJ8 D-Getter, 1 - Amperex 6DJ8 A-Frame. These are a tube Rollers dream. All tubes have low hours and all were bought NOS and the bugle boys have most use. I used the Amperex PQ Gold pin 6922 in Voicing tube and was recently tested NOS the 2 - Amperex 7308 are brand new NIB NOS from Upscale a month ago and this combo is a gigantic upgrade over OEM and also included is the upgraded power cable from the great Canadian HI-- FI company Gutwire and its the B16 AC Power Cord. Huge upgrade over the Stock cable that it blew mind and sounds better than my PS Audio AC10 and Nordost Blue Haven pc cable. Also the power supply Rectification tubes are upgraded. Comes with OEM tube hardly used all but also the best out there NOS RCA Rectification tube that was another huge upgrade and the NOS Winged C Rectification tube. All the tube upgrades made a gigantic upgrade in the pre.
The ZSTAGE which not sure I want to sell but if I do that comes with 2 NOS - 12AU7 RCA Clear tops, an Awesome Mullard 12AU7, Mullard 12AT7, Telefunkin 12AT7 and another awesome cable that I A/B sound tested and sounds best to my ears with included Gaofei AC Power audio cable. Much more base foundation and fully body with this sweet upgraded cable.
3- Decware Silver Reference IC's. I had to spend $ $1,400.00 on IC's to improve them. I have 2 - 1 Meter and 1 - 1/2 meter I could sell.
I also have a brand new NOS NIB Quad of Philips 6L6 WGB JAN Tubes Quad Matched that I bought for my TorI Mk4 that I never used
I also have a Tori Mk3 - 4 black base that I have no use for that I bought and sold the amp and have the trim base. Let me know if any interest in any of this awesome stuff. I have not listed anything anywhere and thought to let the community know of this stuff.
my email is via a yahoo and it is fsmithjack

Did Limewire Shutdown Increase Music Sales?
from the digging-in dept
In the comments to that article, commenter artistrights pointed to a report from Soundscan that music sales had been up for five straight weeks, and separately to another report claiming that Taylor Swift's album sold well after Limewire shut down, selling a million albums in its first week of availability.
I think this is worth exploring, because I've been asking for some actual empirical evidence and we have some. If it's really true that reducing piracy leads to greater sales, that would surprise me, but it would be good to know. If it turns out that reducing piracy leads to more revenue than could have been made otherwise (such as by embracing file sharing) then that would likely cause me to change my opinion on the best strategy for the RIAA to take in this fight. As for the Taylor Swift example, I don't think that proves much of anything, frankly. Throughout the file sharing era, there have been a bunch of releases that sold over a million copies in their first week. In fact, prior to Napster, there had been only two such releases. The rest all came post-Napster. So I'm not sure we can really learn too much about that. Big hit albums still sell. I'm not sure that's got anything to do with Limewire.
As for the other link to sales being up for a five week period, that's definitely worth noting, though, it does not correspond to the same quarter that the NPD study covered. NPD looked at Q4 of 2010. The link above is talking about February and March of 2011. Now, it's entirely possible there's a lag, and people who stopped using Limewire did nothing for 3 months and then suddenly started buying. Perhaps that's the case. If anyone has more info on what was actually selling during these past five weeks, that would help us dig a bit deeper into this information. Some might also point out that SoundScan is not the most trustworthy source of data on music sales -- but it wouldn't surprise me if it were accurate "enough" for the type of music that people used Limewire for, so I wouldn't write it off just because it's Soundscan.
I'm not yet convinced that these two data points are necessarily connected, but it is certainly worth noting the recent bump, and it would be great if folks here were able to dig in a bit deeper and see if we can unpack the reasons for the bump in music sales over the past few weeks.

Product Description
Our top-performing male delay cream!
Extend your love-making as long as you want!
"It really works. Bottom line. I've been lasting longer than I ever thought possible. 40 minutes to an hour. I can finish when I want with a little concentration, & when I do finish, it's really intense. This is the best product of this type that my wife & I have ever purchased." –Adam & Eve customer
Forget all the mumbo-jumbo talk about special ingredients and secret Asian formulas passed down for centuries. Adam & Eve customers have been using Tong Balm for decades, and that's the only endorsement that really matters. If Tong Balm didn't work, then we would have stopped selling it years ago!
• Enhances your sensations instead of numbing or desensitizing
• Boosts muscle control so you can orgasm when you want to
• Follow the directions closely for best results
• Apply to your tip once an hour for three hours before sex
• Becomes more effective the longer you use it
• Results may vary depending on a number of factors
Most products claiming to delay ejaculation work by desensitizing or numbing the nerves in the penis, but Tong Balm actually enhances your sensation. Instead, the cream delays your ejaculation by increasing your self control. By enhancing and improving your muscular control, Tong Balm lets you exercise a new level of control over your orgasm. You'll be able to fully satisfy your partner, improve your relationship, and never be called a "minute man" again. Tong Balm lets you climax when you want to… not before and not after.
For best results, you need to closely follow the directions included with your order. As a general outline, you start by placing a small dab of Tong balm underneath the tip of the penis three hours before sex. Apply another small dab two hours before sex and a third dab one hour before sex.
The key to using Tong Balm is to apply a very small amount at a time. If you apply too much, the product won't work. Proper use of Tong Balm requires some experimentation, so don't be discouraged if your first results aren't what you expected. On the positive side, Tong Balm becomes more and more effective the longer you use it so your experiments will prove beneficial in the long run.
Please note that results of Tong Balm may vary depending on the user's physical condition, body chemistry and other factors.
Tong Balm comes in a discreet plastic case with a pop-open lid, so you can hide it easily at home or carry it around in your pocket if you think you might get lucky. The small case is roughly the size of three quarters stacked together, but it contains enough balm for dozens of applications and hours of steamy sex!

HOUSTON - The United States Department of Agriculture launched an investigation into a giant African snail reportedly found in Harris County.
The snails can carry a parasite called rat lungworm, a form of meningitis.
"Unfortunately, humans are picking the snails up," said Dr. Autumn J. Smith-Herron, the director of the Institute for the Study of Invasive Species at Sam Houston State University. "They carry a parasitic disease that can cause a lot of harm to humans and sometimes even death."
The institute is investigating whether a snail found at a home in west Houston was indeed a giant African snail.
After Local 2's story Monday night about the snails, viewers reported seeing them across the Houston area.
Rebekka Fincher posted to Local 2's Facebook page, saying: "I think I found one this weekend in my subdivision in Katy."
Stephanie Bergstrom reported seeing them at Cullinan Park in Sugar Land last week.
The USDA believes the snail found in west Houston is a Rosy Wolf Snail, a harmless snail native to Texas. The department is sending a team to Houston to investigate but told Local 2 to confirm that the snails aren't a giant African snail.
If you think you've spotted one, call the Institute for the Study of Invasive Species at 936-294-3788. For more information, you can also visit their website.

Saint Louis University - Madrid Campus
Published on April 28, 2015
Saint Louis University is an American, Jesuit university ranked among the top 100 research and teaching institutions in the United States. Distributed over two campuses: St. Louis Campus in the United States and Madrid Campus in Spain, the University enrolls more than 11,000 students, over 650 of whom pursue their studies in Madrid. While originally established in the 1960s as a study abroad program for US college students, the Madrid Campus is now a free-standing campus of Saint Louis University where students from more than 65 countries study undergraduate and graduate courses to obtain either US 4-year undergraduate degrees, graduate degrees or, in the case of study abroad students, credits towards their degrees on their home campuses. Students will receive a quality education, as well as the added value of international exposure, providing them a competitive edge over their peers upon graduation.

My Midlife Jazz Crisis – Stage 1: The Acknowledgement
Well, it has happened. I was recently ranting to a good friend about how today's jazz scene is just not the same as it was when I was young and first launched Jazz Online. After my long and emotional diatribe on the sorry state of the music and industry, my friend bluntly retorted, "I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I think you have just entered the first stage of geezerhood."

Company news: Pfizer, Vertex and Poz
End-of-year downsizing is upon us. The Pfizer layoffs teased December 4 now have some shape – Bloomberg is reporting that the drug maker is set to lay off 20% of its primary-care sales force, or about 600 positions. Sandoz is also reducing its headcount by just over 100 positions, or 5% of its US workforce, according to Pharmalot, and Valeant's September Medicis acquisition now includes around 300 layoffs, reported the Phoenix Business Journal.
The FDA said it's adding a black box warning, the most serious kind, to the label of Vertex's hepatitis C drug Incivek concerning fatal cases of skin reactions. "Some patients died when they continued to receive Incivek, along with the drugs peginterferon alfa and ribavirin, after developing a worsening, or progressive rash and systemic symptoms," the agency reported today. Rash and serious skin reactions were previously included in the warnings and precautions section of Incivek's label, but the fatalities came to light during post-marketing. In a statement, Vertex said that in Phase III trials, less than 1% of Incivek patients experienced a serious skin reaction and that all recovered. Launched in 2011, Incivek got off to a fast start, handily beating Merck's rival protease inhibitor Victrelis for dominance of the hep. C market. US sales were $797.8 million in 2011, according to Source Healthcare Analytics. But prescription growth for both has leveled, analysts say, as clinicians anticipate new interferon-free regimens, which could be approved as early as 2014.
Spencer Cox, an early leader of ACT UP's Treatment Action Group who schooled himself on the science behind the disease until his expertise was sought after by scientists, and who laid out the blueprints for the clinical trial protocol of the first protease inhibitors in 1995, died of AIDS-related causes yesterday in New York. He was 44. In more recent years, Cox was an eloquent writer who blogged for Poz, among other publications, and founded an organization to advocate treatment of the mental health issues facing a generation of gay men who'd lived through the grim early years of the AIDS epidemic.

Fortysomething singles look back on their 20s, plus Kevin DeYoung tells us to slow down, and a listener wants advice on dating a widower.
Featured musical artist: Jars of Clay
Show sponsor: ChristianCafe.com
[26:03] -
For those who are older and still single, it's sometimes hard to look both objectively at the past and hopefully toward the future. Yet this week's panel of 40-something singles has a lot to say to their peers and younger friends about trusting God, waiting for marriage, maximizing singleness, and giving grace when they need it most. Listen in for wisdom, encouragement and only a few "I told you sos."
[23:05] -
When asked how you're doing, do you ever answer, "I'm not busy at all!" We didn't think so. Most of us are running ragged with little margin, rest or rhythm. Getting to the important is nearly impossible when the urgent keeps knocking at our door. Pastor Kevin DeYoung sees this as a big problem, especially for Christians who are called to live life to the glory of God. In Crazy Busy, a book he claims to have written for himself, Kevin addresses the things that threaten to sap the strength out of us and what we can do to change them. More than this, though, he has us look at our hearts to examine why we're so busy in the first place.

She's being pursued by a great guy, but he's a widower. She's not sure what she thinks about that. Will she have to "compete" with his late wife? What if he's not over her yet? How can our listener know? What about her other fears regarding this potentially challenging relationship? Candice offers clarity.

'Christmas on Main Street' Nov. 21
What do you remember about shopping for Christmas in downtown Fond du Lac? In the 1950s and 1960s, Main Street was a shopping mecca for the small towns and rural areas for miles around. Families made special weekend trips just to visit stores such as Fond du Lac Dry Goods, Ragatz Shoes and Yost's College Shop. And they'd stop for a bite to eat at Stateson's Restaurant or McKnight Luncheonette.
But Christmastime was when downtown Fond du Lac really shone, with giant displays and visits to Santa. At 6 p.m. Thursday, November 21, the Fond du Lac Public Library will present Christmas on Main Street, the second in the new History at Home program series. Mary Leb from the library will present a holiday trip down memory lane. She's inviting the audience to come with stories, too, of favorite shops and downtown holiday traditions.
Refreshments will be served. The program is free. No registration required.
History at Home is a new series of programs that take place at 6 p.m. the third Thursday of the month highlighting interesting stories and aspects of local and state history. Programs for 2014 include:
January 16: The People of the Sturgeon
February 20: African Americans in Fond du Lac
March 20: The Wide-Awakes & the Election of 1860
April 17: 40 Acres and the Founding of Fond du Lac
All History at Home programs are free and open to the public. The program was initiated by a gift to the library from an anonymous donor who wished to promote the exploration of local history.
Advertisement at right: Klaetsch Sporting Goods (phone: 2535) urges shoppers to "Make it a sporting Christmas" in this Nov. 23, 1955, ad in the Fond du Lac Commonwealth Reporter, and suggests customers trade in their old skates for a new pair.

Lisbon company thrives on leading edge of technologyBy JOHN KOZIOL
Union Leader Correspondent
August 20. 2017 11:16PM
LISBON — From the ocean to the moon and from the minutely small to the monstrously large, New England Wire Technologies continues to quietly put its imprint on many facets of life.
New England Electrical Works Inc. was founded to make magnet wire for the telephone industry in 1898. That year the company became the first commercial manufacturer in the U.S. of Litz wire, which is used in high-frequency inductors and transformers, inverters, communication equipment, ultrasonic equipment, sonar equipment, television and radio equipment and induction-heating equipment.
Starting with a handful of employees, New England Wire now has some 400 who work three shifts five days a week in multiple buildings that occupy nearly 400,000 square feet of space in downtown Lisbon. A third of the privately-held company is owned by employees through a stock plan.
New England Wire, as it is familiarly known, is the largest employer in Lisbon and among the largest in the Upper Connecticut River Valley. Subsidiaries include New England Catheter, which is also based here, as well as Bay Associates Wire Technologies in Fremont, Calif., and Santa Ana, Mexico.
While it is one of many manufacturers of wire — thin, flexible metal thread used to send or receive electricity or electrical signals — New England Wire is different from competitors in that it's vertically integrated, said its president Tom White, something which improves product quality and results in a faster delivery time to customers.
Wire can be made to a customer's specifications or designed in-house by New England Wire's engineering team. Using proprietary equipment and tooling, the design can be brought to life through wire drawing, plating, braid, cabling and extrusion services.
New England Wire's products have been used in the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space programs, noted Bob Meserve, a vice president who came to the company from Bell Labs more than 50 years ago, and they have been used in the world's largest particle accelerator, the Hadron collider at CERN, and are being used in the ITER nuclear fusion project.
According to ITER.org, ITER is "the world's largest fusion experiment" whose goal is to "prove the feasibility of fusion as a large-scale and carbon-free source of energy based on the same principle that powers our Sun and stars."
Thirty-five nations are involved in building the reactor in southern France as part of ITER. New England Wire is the lone American cable supplier to the project, a distinction of which the company is proud. But it's also something it takes in stride because customized applications are its stock and trade.
Technology innovation
In addition to its experience in space, New England Wire was a pioneer in computers.
In the 1970s, the company made miniature, highly-flexible cables for both hard-disk and floppy-disk storage of the first IBM personal computers.
The world's first reusable orbiter, the Space Shuttle Columbia, flew with New England Wire products in its manual guidance system and OMEGA, an early effort at global communications using a network of submarine cables, is still doing so.
A member of the New Hampshire Aerospace & Defense Export Consortium, New England Wire in 2016 received the U.S. Department of Commerce's Export Achievement Award for expanding its international trade presence in collaboration with the Department and U.S. Commercial Service.
Customers, who are found in 50 different countries, are king at New England Wire and their identities, in nearly all cases, are kept confidential.
The company makes products for military and aerospace applications, alternative power, audio and video, communication and control, industrial, medical electronics, scientific research, windings and through New England Catheter it makes medical tubing and braiding.
During a recent interview with New England Wire's leadership team, White credited the company's success to its employees, many of whom include families that have worked there for generations.
Kelly MacKay, the director of sales, said the future is bright for New England Wire, noting that the New England Catheter division "has a distinct advantage" and is well positioned for growth because it is entirely in-house and therefore enjoys the same soup-to-nuts capability of its corporate parent.
New England Wire is further defining the word "miniature," with White noting that "smaller" will be the next big thing, everywhere, which again, bodes well for the company.
The width of an average human hair is about three one-thousandths of an inch. New England Wire regularly produces wire that is two one-thousandths of an inch and as small as one two-thousandth of an inch. The company can then insulate and cable that wire to meet a customer's specific needs, imparting or removing performance qualities from an extensive list of choices.
Selling customers on New England Wire can be challenging, said MacKay, because the company "isn't selling products off the shelf," but instead is selling its design and manufacturing abilities.
Sales are good, though. The company declined to disclose annual sales and revenues.
"We're kind of a one-stop shop," said Wendell Jesseman, the chairman of New England Wire, who with Meserve created the employee-stock plan in 1985 and has worked at the company for 61 years.
White said New England Wire doesn't just wait for customers to find the well-beaten path to its door, but tries to anticipate where the opportunities are and will be by meeting and talking with scientists at various conferences.
"We want to know what the new, emerging technologies are," said White, "what are the needs."
What those technologies are or will be is still unknown, White said, but what is clear is that "miniaturization is the future."
Jesseman added that New England Wire and its subsidiaries intend to be there: "We want to continue to be leaders in new and evolving technologies."

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - October 26, 2103 --Two central New Jersey men have pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a fatal road rage incident in Trenton.
Michael Rafferty of Hamilton pleaded guilty Friday to aggravated manslaughter in the death of 51-year-old Edwin Cruz-Rivera, while Thomas Haas of Chesterfield pleaded guilty to endangering an injured victim.
Mercer County prosecutors say Rafferty and Haas, who worked together, were headed home in separate vehicles when Rivera allegedly cut one of them off in April 2010. An argument involving all three men ensued, and it ended when Rafferty hit Cruz-Rivera in the head with a lead pipe.
Rafferty and Haas fled the scene, leaving Cruz-Rivera unconscious in the street.
Prosecutors say Haas will likely receive probation, while Rafferty faces a 10-year prison term when both men are sentenced later this year.
